Ajay Singh re-elected as BFI president
CHENNAI: After several legal issues and power tussle within the federation, the long-awaited Boxing Federations of India (BFI) elections was finally conducted in Gurugram on Thursday. Incumbent Ajay Singh's reign will continue for a third consecutive term after a comprehensive victory over Jas Lal Pradhan, who was rivalling Singh for the president's post on the day. Singh, who is also the managing director of SpiceJet Airlines, garnered as many as 40 votes while Jas Lal fetched 26 votes. Pamod Kumar of Uttar Pradesh is set to take over the post of secretary general. Tamil Nadu's Pon Baskaran was elected as treasurer. Returning Officer Rajesh Tandon and BFI Interim Committee head Fairuz Mohammed of Singapore, representing World Boxing (WB) as its observer, were among those who present during the elections, that had face several hurdles in the past six months or so. However, WB president Boris van der Vorst and WB secretary general Mike McAtee, who were originally set to be the observers, did not attend the elections. Moreover, it is learnt that there were no observers from the sports ministry and the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to oversee the polls. Speaking on the occasion, Singh said, "This victory is a reaffirmation of the trust and faith my colleagues from across the country have placed in me. It is not just a mandate, but a recognition of the relentless work we have done together to take Indian boxing forward. I would like to thank Mr. Fairuz Mohamed, Chairperson, BFI Interim Committee and Observer, World Boxing, for conducting a free and fair election. I also extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the newly-elected office bearers. With the World Championship and World Cup ahead, our singular focus will be on enabling our boxers to deliver their best, bring home medals, and make India proud." Despite the day's outcome, the results remain subject to the final ruling of an ongoing case in the Delhi High Court, where several state units have challenged the constitutional amendments introduced by the Interim Committee that had been looking after the BFI's daily affairs. That was done without the approval of the general body. With the elections out of the way, the focus will hopefully shift on the boxers, who are currently gearing up for the all-important World Championships in Liverpool. Olympians Nikhat Zareen, Lovlina Borgohain are some of the big names who'll be vying for medals during the said championships, which is scheduled to be held early next month.

Ajay Singh re-elected boxing federation president in polls delayed by almost five months
Ajay Singh was re-elected President of the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) for a third consecutive term on Thursday, in polls delayed by almost five months due to legal issues between various competing factions. Singh, representing Uttarakhand, defeated former boxer Jaslal Pradhan, from the Sikkim unit, 40-26 in the election conducted in the presence of Returning Officer Rajesh Tandon and BFI interim committee head Fairuz Mohammed of Singapore, who was sent by World Boxing as an observer. World Boxing president Boris van der Vorst and secretary General Mike McAtee, who were originally named as observers, did not attend the election. The union sports ministry and the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) also didn't send any observers. Singh, who is also the managing director of SpiceJet Airlines, will be joined by a new secretary general in Pramod Kumar of Uttar Pradesh, who succeeds Assam's Hemanta Kalita after defeating Digvijay Singh 36-30. Kalita was ineligible to contest after serving two consecutive four-year terms as an office-bearer and must now undergo a mandatory cooling-off period. Tamil Nadu's Pon Baskaran was elected treasurer after a three-way battle with Anil Kumar Bohidar and R Gopu. 'I'm just happy that we get to continue the good work that the BFI has been doing for the past eight years,' Singh was quoted as saying by PTI. 'We want to ensure that our boxers get many more opportunities and get to bring Olympic medals for the country.' Talking about his plans in his third term in office, Singh said: 'My foremost commitment is to ensure that every ounce of energy now goes into strengthening grassroots programmes, empowering our junior and youth athletes, and building on India's growing stature in world boxing.' The results, however, remain subject to the outcome of an ongoing case in the Delhi High Court, where several state units have challenged the constitutional amendments introduced by the interim committee that had been overseeing BFI's daily affairs. The elections were initially scheduled for March 28 but were repeatedly stalled due to a series of petitions, appeals and counter-appeals. After the constitutional amendments that prevented Anurag Thakur from fighting for the BFI President's post, the ministry said it will adopt a wait-and-watch approach. 'We have already told the Delhi High Court that we do not think that the procedure followed in the conduct of these elections is right. We will wait now and see what the court says,' a source in the union sports ministry said on Thursday when asked why there was no government observer at the elections. The High Court has set September 23 as the next date of hearing.

Ajay Singh re-elected Boxing Federation of India President for third straight term
Incumbent Ajay Singh was on Thursday (August 21, 2025) re-elected President of the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) for a third consecutive term after a comprehensive victory over Olympian Jaslal Pradhan, even as the Sports Ministry and the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) chose not to send observers for the long-delayed polls. The elections were postponed by over six months due to legal wrangling. Singh, who is also the managing director of SpiceJet Airlines, won the contest 40-26 against 1982 Asian Games bronze medallist boxer Pradhan, who had the backing of the rival faction after former sports minister Anurag Thakur's inclusion in the electoral college was rejected. "I'm just happy that we get to continue the good work that the BFI has been doing for the past eight years," Singh told PTI after his victory. "As you know, India's rank in the world has gone up from number 44 eight years ago to rank four. That gives us immense satisfaction... that Indian boxers are now getting the opportunity to box in international championships and that they win so many medals and India gets to shine on the world stage. "We want to continue that work and ensure that our boxers get many more opportunities and get to bring Olympic medals for the country," he added. Singh will be joined by new secretary general Pramod Kumar of Uttar Pradesh, who edged out former BFI treasurer Digvijay Singh of Madhya Pradesh 36–30. Kumar succeeds Assam's Hemanta Kalita, who was ineligible to contest after completing two consecutive four-year terms and is now serving a mandatory cooling-off period. The treasurer's position saw a three-way fight and Tamil Nadu's Pon Baskaran secured the post with 28 votes, defeating Anil Kumar Bohidar and R. Gopu. No observer from ministry, IOA; World Boxing chief also skips polls The polls were conducted in the presence of Returning Officer Justice (retd) Rajesh Tandon and BFI interim committee head Fairuz Mohammed of Singapore, deputed by World Boxing as its observer. World Boxing President Boris van der Vorst and Secretary General Mike McAtee, originally scheduled to attend as observers, were also not present. "Boris was unable to come yesterday, which was the plan. He will be travelling to India in the next few days to finalise the venue for the World Boxing Cup in November," Singh said. The Sports Ministry and the IOA did not send observers, a move that drew objections from the rival faction led by Himachal Pradesh unit chief Rajesh Bhandari. "We wrote to them but they declined without giving any reason," Singh said. It is understood that the Ministry is adopting a wait and watch approach until the court delivers its verdict. "We have already told the Delhi High Court that we do not think that the procedure followed in the conduct of these elections is right. We will wait now and see what the court says," a Ministry source said. The results of the polls remain subject to the final verdict of an ongoing case in the Delhi High Court, where several state units have challenged the constitutional amendments introduced by the interim committee that had been overseeing BFI's daily affairs. The High Court has set September 23 as the next date of hearing. "Of course the matter is going on in the court and the court had said in its last hearing that they wanted the elections to go on. "They also made the result of the elections subject to the final outcome of the case which is what happens every time a legal matter is filed in an election. So all of us will abide by the law of the land," Singh said. Singh, who was first elected to office in 2016, said his priority would be to focus on grassroots development. "My foremost commitment is to ensure that every ounce of energy now goes into strengthening grassroots programs, empowering our junior and youth athletes, and building on India's growing stature in world boxing." The elections were initially scheduled for March 28 but were repeatedly stalled due to a series of petitions, appeals and counter-appeals.
